Primary Literature Search• Your case studies are Data-Driven, and all sources should come
from scholarly articles• Scholarly (peer-reviewed) articles vs. Review Articles (both are ok)• Google Scholar is good, but make sure you link to the UMB library,
and that it is an article published in a peer-reviewed journal• Web of Science and GreenFile are other good databases to use
(UMB library website)– Web of Science can filter “Document Type”-> “Review”…Google Scholar
cannot• Use the “Take a Snapshot” tool in Adobe Reader (after you have
saved the file) to grab images
Tips for Reading Scientific Articles
• Many different methods, develop what works for you– But DON’T read them front to back in entirety
(unless it’s a review article)• Read and re-read Abstract multiple times• Read Introduction and Discussion/Conclusion,
ignore middle of paper• Look for Figures, read the captions/where they
are referenced to understand them
• Ekman Transport: behaves same as coriolis force– Deflects to right in N hemisphere– Deflects to left in S hemisphere
